What sort/manner of trouble with the gate, Tony? Is it .44-40 or .45 Colt & what make?

A guy can get carried away with this "sport".

A brace of Colt percussion cap and ball revolvers for that discipline, (1851's or 1860s or maybe if you've strong wrists, a brace of 1847 Walker Colt revolvers, pair of regular 1873 Colt revolvers in .45 - a .45 Colt Lightening, 12 bore shotguns, hammered or not, a Henry in .45 Colt, 1866 and or 1873 Winchesters, all in .45 to keep ammo easy, a 76 in .45/75, .45/60 or .50/95, and 86 in .45/70 & Sharps or Rolling Blocks in any calibrer are all for 'side bets'.

I think that about covers it, oh yeah, you'll need a tiny 1851 .32 Colt with conversion 32S&W cylinder for a vest pocket and maybe a couple Philly Derringers, made by Deringer or perhaps Uberti or Pedersoli finishes off the 'outfit'.
